'Toxic staff culture' at mental health unit where police are investigating alleged mistreatment of patients
A "toxic staff culture" exists in an NHS mental heath unit, it is claimed. It is also alleged that patients at the Edenfield Centre in Prestwich, Bury, were abused.
The programme is due to be screened this evening and the Trust letter to stakeholders, says: "It appears in general terms that Panorama may allege unprofessional, unsafe, and uncaring practices with a focus on staff shortages, language and communication with patients and inappropriate use of restraint practices. We believe the BBC will allege a neglectful approach to the provision of services at the Edenfield Centre and a toxic staff culture.
Additional advocacy support for patients, their carers and their families and extra senior clinical and operational management have been deployed to the unit to ensure appropriate working practices are being followed. A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Mental Health Foundation Trust said: "We are taking the allegations raised by Panorama very seriously since the BBC sent them to us earlier this month. We have put in place immediate actions to protect patient safety, which is our utmost priority.
